Re: For those who trust their doctors....
Some supposed expert pharmacist from my insurance company called me one time with the line about my insurance wanting to help me get healthier. I had upped my iodine, zinc, and Vitamin D3 intake about a year before that due to health issues. When she asked, I told her what I was taking. She insisted...

Re: .222 Remington/.223 Remington for deer
Depending on the bullet, and shot presented, the .223 is competent. Again, for anything larger than varmints, I would use guilding metal or monolithic bullets. They would need to be heavy for caliber. That would reduce velocity a little, but not enough to make a real world difference. No worries. If...

Re: .222 Remington/.223 Remington for deer
A .223 with decent bullets is just fine for deer. It would be best to not use the lighter varmint bullets. Anything over 60 grains should hold up to a decent sized deer. Twist rate becomes an issue about 77 grains. 72 grains in a 1:9 twist should give accuracy about half a minute of angle out to 300...
